Applied kinesiology (AK)<\/em> was founded by the American doctor of chiropractic medicine George Goodheart<\/em>, who discovered in the 1960s that the strength of a muscle can be changed by merely touching therapeutically relevant points on the body. Based on this discovery, Goodheart developed a standardised muscle test, the purpose of which is to provide information on how the body reacts to positive as well as negative stress.<\/p>\n

AK is particularly suited for the diagnosis of symptoms related to the musculoskeletal system. However, it also provides a simple option for the diagnosis of allergies, intoxication, and many other conditions (see ‘Special indications’).<\/p>\n

Over the years, AK has developed into a holistic system for diagnosis and treatment which examines health in terms of the “Triad of Health”<\/em> (see figure). The triad can be viewed as a triangle with equal sides representing “structure”, “chemistry” and “mental state”.<\/p>\n

AK thus improves the options for every form of medical activity.<\/p>\n

Unlike other forms of kinesiology, applied kinesiology (AK)<\/em> is only practiced by qualified medical practitioners and requires many years of additional training, which also concludes with examinations.<\/p>\n

AK is based on the challenge<\/em>. Challenge refers to the provocation of the body for diagnostic purposes by means of structural, chemical or mental stimulation. When a patient is exposed to a test stimulation of this nature and there is a change in muscle strength, this is termed a positive challenge<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A change in challenge<\/em> is called therapy localisation<\/em>. This involves the patient placing a finger over the potentially abnormal region. If the conditions in this location are abnormal, the reaction of the muscles will be different.<\/p>\n

This therapy localisation process indicates to the therapist where the abnormality is located and the direction in which treatment needs to be performed.<\/p>\n
